Definitions
- the present invention relates to a surveillance installation.
- TV cameras are generally used, connected to a surveillance centre where an observer sits and watches events. This is an efficient but extremely expensive method.
- the present invention relates to an installation for surveillance of an area of the latter type. It is thus important that persons coming into contact with the installation are not in any way injured thereby.
- This is enabled by the invention by the provision of a manned or unmanned central unit which receives information if anyone is at the periphery of the area.
- the central unit is electrically connected to a number of sensing means located along the periphery of the area.
- Each sensing means is provided with one or more sensitive members which, when activated, alter the elec ⁇ trical state in the current circuit including the sensing means and said central unit.
- the sensitive member may constitute a wire, a net or the like which may either be placed on the surface of the ground or be suspended.
- the sensitive member is provided at one end with a magnet loosely applied on the sensing means and retained there by an attraction member which may consist of a strip of ferrometal. If the sensitive member is touched the magnet is easily dislodged and the electrical state in the above-mentioned current circuit is thus altered. Said magnet might, for instance, influence a circuit breaker or switch so that, in the absence of the magnet, a resistor is short-circuited.
- the magnetic force of the magnet at the sensing means can be controlled by varying the distance between the magnet and the unit in the sensing means to which the magnet is attracted.
- Electric current is transmitted between the central unit and a sensing means through a two-way wire. Both direct and alternating current are suitable for the purpose.
- the Installation can also be used to initiate action members of various types.
- Such action members may consist of a tape-recorder providing Information as to the cause of the trespassing.
- Other examples of action members are search-lights or a unit emitting a smoke screen.
- the action member may consist of a mine or a unit emitting toxic gas.
- sensing means To enable the installation to be used for both gathering information and taking action it Is advisable to use two different direct voltages.
- the same wire connections used for the sensing means can then also be used for the action members.
- Each sensing means, and possibly also the central unit, should include a rectifier. This enables the two. direct voltages to
- the two direct voltages may have the same or different values. In some cases it has proved advistable for one voltage to have low value and the other high value.

- Figure 3 a section of a sensing means
- Figure 4 a see-through view of an embodiment of a sensing means
- Figure 5 a wiring diagram for an installation in non-activated state
- Figure 6 a wiring diagram for an installation when triggered
- Figure 7 a wiring diagram for an installation when triggered but with the buzzer disconnected
- Figure 8 a wiring diagram for an installation with an action member connected and Figure 9 block diagram over a complete installation.
- Figure 1 shows an alarm and control centre 1 connected to a distribution unit 2.
- a sensing means and an action member can be connected to the distribution unit.
- the distribution unit 2 is connected to the alarm and control centre 1 by two leads.
- One of these leads includes a circuit with a light-emitting diode 9A, two rectifiers 23A and 24A, a resistor 21A and a three-way switch 15A.
- a buzzer 10 can also be connected in parallel t ⁇ this circuit.
- One or other of two direct voltage sources 11 and 12 can be connected to the two leads by means of circuit breakers 17, 18 and 19.
- the distribution unit 2 is provided with three connections, namely two outer connections and one intermediate connection. The two outer connections are joined together by a rectifier 16.
- the intermediate connection is connected to one of the two wires to the alarm and control centre, and the other wire from the alarm and control centre 1 is connected to one of the outer connections.
- a sensing means is connected to the intermediate connection and one of the outer connections and an action member is connected to the other outer connection and the intermediate connection.
- a number of distribution units 2 are connected to the central alarm and control unit 1 , each distribution unit having its own circuit consisting of the units 9, 15, 21, 23 and 24.
- Figure 2 shows a wiring circuit for a sensing means containing two switches 6A and 6B.
- the switches are actuated by magnets 7A and 7B, respectively, and each switch is enclosed in a protective gas tube.
- the two switches are used to short-circuit a resistor 8.
- a practical embodi ⁇ ment of a sensing means is shown in Figure 4 revealing two pockets for the magnets 7A and 7B, the pocket for magnet 7A being designated 13.
- the pocket is located above the switch 6A which the magnet is to actuate.
- Below each magnet is a ferrometalllc unit which attracts the magnets 7A and 7B.
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a switch with associated magnet.
- the force with which a magnet is retained in the sensing means can be controlled by making the ferrometalllc strip adjustable in relation to a magnet placed In the pocket.
- each magnet may have an eye " connected to a cord or net, both cord and net being either suspended or ' placed loose on the ground, preferably in such a manner as to be difficult to detect.
- the magnetic force shall be sufficient to remove the magnet without the person coming into contact with the cord or net being aware that he has encountered an obstruction.
- Figures 5-8 describe a chain of events from alarm to action for an instal ⁇ lation comprising a distribution unit 2, a sensing means 3 and an action member 5.
- An installation comprising a larger number of sensing means and action members would function in exactly the same manner.
- the relevant current circuits have been indicated in thicker lines in the drawings.
- FIG. 1 The figures show a central alarm and control unit 1 connected to a distri ⁇ bution unit 2A to which are connected a sensing means 3A and an action member 5A.
- Figure 5 shows a situation in which current is supplied from a voltage source 11, this being of any size. However, it is probably advisable for this source to supply low voltage.
- a three-way switch 15A is in the position shown in the figure.
- a faint lamp in the form of a light- emitting diode 9 indicates if the sensing member 3A is correctly con ⁇ nected. Should a person tread on the cord or net connected to the magnet 7A, this magnet will be dislodged from the sensing means, whereupon the switch will assume the position shown in Figure 6.
- the switch 17 must then be brought to its righthand position so that the distribution unit 2A is supplied with direct voltage from the source 12 where the direct voltage is pole-inverted in relation to the direct voltage supplied earlier.
- the existence of rectifiers 16 and 25 ensures that the pole-inverted direct voltage will be supplied only to the action member 5A.
- the action member 5A may consist of a compact little unit containing 'tape-recorder and loud-speaker. Alternatively, the action member may consist of a searchlight or any other suitable means, or it may even consist of a unit emitting a smoke screen or toxic gases. A water spray could also be initiated in this way. It Is also feasible to connect a number of sensing means in series or in parallel. The same applies to the action members which may be connected in parallel or in series. A combination of both series and parallel connection is also possible.
- Initiation of the action members can also be performed automatically without manual intervention.
- the advantage of manual intervention is that undesired initiation of the action members can be prevented.
- each sensing means may be provided with more than two magnets.
- each magnet may be connected to one or more cords or one or more nets.
- Figure 9 shows an example of how an area is screened off with the aid of a number of sensing means.
- Four cables lead from the alarm and control unit 1 to four branch units 14A, 14B, 14C and 14D. Distribution units are connected to each branch unit. Two-way wiring cables lead to each distri ⁇ bution unit, each cable to a branch unit thus containing a number of wires corresponding to the number of branch units plus one extra.
- a distribution unit 2A to which a sensing means 3A is connected via a sensitive member 4A.
- 3B and 3B' are series- connected.
- the sensing means 3B is provided with a sensitive member 4B and the sensing means 3B' with a sensitive member 4B' .
- the lower lefthand corner of the figure shows a distribution unit 2C to which are connected two sensing members 3C and 3C .
- the upper lefthand corner of Figure 9 shows that the action members 5 can be both series and parallel s -connected, •two series-connected action members 5D and 5D' * and one parallel-connected action member 5D' ' being shown.
- the sensing means utilized in the present invention can be used in Instal ⁇ lations where mechanical interference is to effect an alteration in a current circuit.
- a sensing means 3 which causes an indication at a ecanical damage to wires,cords, net and the like.
- the indication is caused by the sensing means allowing a higher value of the current to pass through the same after a damage, said change in current can also be obtained by not mechanical means.
- the means can consist of microphones which feel vibrations in the ground or sound appearing at the sensing means 3. It is also possible that the supply means of the sensing means can be reacted by light of different frequences The supply means can emit light and receive light.
- the control unit can have control units, which at change in cur ⁇ rent value at a sensing means immediately connect the higher voltage, which release the action means. In last mentioned case it ought to be suitable to use a relay which at increasing current from the sensing means attract the relay so that the higher D.C. voltage is supplied to the action member 5.
